For the last few months, we and our collaborators have been working hard – farming four types of millets in CA, educating our community about the awesomeness of these highly nutritious, drought-tolerant, and gluten-free grains, and cooking up a storm and learning with our family and friends about tasty millet recipes!

4. Pick up seeds to plant you own millets, and millet samples to cook your own millet dishes!

We are excited to share our experience with and the many agricultural, economic and sociocultural advantages of this grain with you through food, drink, and talk. You can take a stroll through our small-scale millet farm at the Gill Tract Farm and see different varieties of this grain growing right there. Have you ever tried millet beer? Or millet sausages? A millet burger? Maybe a millet muffin? No? Then you should definitely check it out at the millet exhibit! We will have millet recipes from all over the world for you to taste.

For more information, please email us at the millet project @ gmail. com (no spaces)

We are looking forward to welcoming you and your family on August 30th!
